摘要

CuFe2O4 particles were successfully engineered by a facile sol-gel method. The synthesized products were characterized physically by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Besides, the effects of the sintering temperature and the molar ration of citric acid/the total metal cations (CA/MC) on their infrared radiant properties were investigated at the wavelength of 3-5 gm. The highest infrared emission value ca. 0.911 was obtained when the test temperature was conducted at 800 degrees C, indicating its potential application in infrared heating, infrared coating and drying fields.
